Restaurant Elsässerhof , Hegenheimerstrasse 20, 4123 Allschwil

Dinner for two on July 12, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. First impression: A cozy restaurant without any decorations or other frills. Tables without tablecloths. Chairs and wooden benches without upholstery. The entrance leads through the small covered outdoor area . Location: Quiet, a 2-minute walk from Allschwil's village square. Noticeable: Even with average occupancy, it's sometimes very noisy. You have to like that. Ordered dishes: The two green salads as starters were poorly presented but delicious. For the main course: 1 veal fillet baked with herb butter with French fries and 1 pork cordon bleu with pommes alumettes. What gigantic portions! Unfortunately, both main courses arrived late . The veal fillet was not medium, but still bleu. Our complaint was promptly accepted, and the fillet was refried. The fact that it wasn't truly medium-rare even afterward was due to the meat. The herb butter is homemade and extremely delicious! The Cordon Bleu was delicious, as were the Pommes Alumettes. House wine recommendation: Inedible, furry, and burning on the tongue. Luckily, we had only ordered a 1-liter glass for testing. We ultimately opted for a 0.5-liter bottle of Merlot. This wine was fine and suited our taste, but unfortunately arrived much too late, as we were almost finished with our meal. For dessert, we consumed a few espressos and a meringue with whipped cream , as well as a lemon sorbet with vodka. Again: What large portions! Unfortunately, the meringue shells were dry. Conclusion: Despite the sometimes very noisy atmosphere, the value for money is unbeatable, as evidenced by the receipt for all our purchases . If you're really hungry, you'll be satisfied here!

Great food, no matter what you take. Fair prices, good quality, friendly staff. We come here often and have never been disappointed. ☺️

What can I say...we're thrilled – our guests from Cologne were also very impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere. Liver with Rösti and Cordon Bleu with Münster couldn't be better. We'll be back!
